Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

[JenniferS]

How is Jennifer this morning?

Tired of sleeping on the couch, but probably no more so than Mike is sick of the La-Z Boy. We have to figure out a way to sleep in our bed tonight.

Mike, of course, has been a dream. (He did say one sharp thing to me yesterday. I cried. We both felt bad. Crisis over.) Surprisingly, Spenser has been equally helpful. He does things for me a bit differently than Mike, but with equal effectiveness. Ski has been a bit of a pill. He doesn’t handle stuff like this well, so I’m not altogether surprised.

The hip joint doesn’t hurt at all, and the incision while nasty looking, is fine as long as I don’t put any weight on it. It’s the muscles, from the knee to the thigh, back and front, that are absolutely screaming. My entire right leg is essentially a useless slab of meat that can only be moved manually. Either Mike or Spenser move them together for me ... low and slow ... which is the lazy, pain-free way to move; or I loop a rope around my foot and manually lift my right leg while rotating my body.

This is the carp they don’t tell you at pre-op. They don’t tell you that you’re going to be a helpless, whiney baby for a week or so.

Better every day. Better every 12 hours, in fact.
Even better after I can have a shower and feel human again. Maybe tomorrow.

Thank you for asking.

When do they anticipate beginning physio again? Are you walking at all with a walker or assistance?

With a walker. Can use the crutches on the stairs.

Physio is supposed to start Thursday, but the hospital advises waiting two weeks, so I’m just about to give them a wee call to see if we can reschedule.

Still not crazy about food. How is your appetite @Nemo14 ?

Appetite is improving, but I get a metallic taste to most foods, so I have to eat with plastic utensils.

Mike: What do you want for supper, Baby? I can make some garlic shrimp pasta when I get home.

Me (turns green): I thought you loved me.

So my alarm was set for 4:45. I woke up on my own at 4:30. Okie dokie so I got up. When I went to check on my son's waffle, I discovered I had a hash brown in the toaster. Then my low fuel light came on while I was driving to work. OK Monday - I see you - and I accept the challenge. Game on.

So did the hash brown work in the toaster? Is that a thing - a toaster hash brown? Fingers crossed, waiting for your response!

It actually did! It was a hash brown patty and I had it turned the longways across the toaster slats in my toaster oven. It took 4 rounds of toasting but it was perfectly crisped and delicious.

My “two week” follow-up is at 9:40 am on February 25th.

Shrove Tuesday is February 25th.

The closet Denny’s to us is in London, en route to (and from) the hospital.

Anybody want to help me connect the dots?

I wanted to look up how tall Leonardo DiCaprio is. My phone gave me odd autofill choices.

I heard it was a thing on the internet not too long about that Peppa Pig is really like 6 feet tall.

Better Call Saul season 4 is on Netflix now. I don't remember what has happened so far. I remember characters and minor plot details, but can't remember anything else. I swear it's been a couple years since they added a new season to Netflix. I have some recapping to do.

I need season 5 to start airing. I remember really liking season 4.

I DVRed season 4, but someone deleted it before I could watch it. So I've been in limbo for a while.
